It's just, the platforming is terrible. Half the time you'll go flying off course, or fail to initiate a jump. Just, it feels like dry gears trying to get Drake to do what I want to.
It's also fun when you get dropped into a combat arena with one point of solid cover, with enemies flanking you from both sides and getting genade spammed.
You get through it, but a lot of these deaths feel cheap. And this is coming off of Dark Souls 3 and Tomb Raider.

Uncharted is a solid first entry with a few big flaws
Uncharted 2 is fucking perfection.
Uncharted 3 is really good but they tried to do too much.

UC4 has a bunch of visual filters, including cel-shading and "8-bit" pixelized (which also changes the sound)
Also my god the level of detail Naughty Dog puts into moment-to-moment stuff
You're getting grabbed by a guy! Another guy's coming up to take cheap shots at you! Sully rushes in to grab THAT guy! You break free and shove him into a crate, which shatters!
None of that was scripted!

Summary: Guy who was lukewarm on the first 3 Uncharted games liked this one a bunch, but finds many facetious faults with Nathan Drake's workout results.
One of my favorite additions to the gameplay is the grappling hook, which I expected to be a simple tool for moving from platform to platform. It does that just fine at predetermined grapple points, but it also comes with a variety of other uses. If you’re swinging above an enemy and hit the melee button, Drake will come down on him with a tackle that causes his gun to fly from his hands. This would be satisfying enough, but I found myself smiling every time Drake finished this animation by reaching up and snatching the gun out of mid-air. Uncharted has always been great about letting you shoot from virtually any situation, so I shouldn’t have been surprised when I discovered that you can fire weapons while swinging from the hook. While this level of control may not be uncommon for the series, it’s hard to not feel like you’re in a big-budget action movie when you’re swinging through the air while raining sub-machine gun fire down on enemies.

I almost wanna get Uncharted 4 just for the story, oddly enough
Like, all the commercials and trailers they've been showing in movie theaters and stuff with the whole sense of remorse about his adventurous life, I could totally get down on that
But I liked Uncharted 2 a lot less than 1, and I straight up disliked 3 enough that I didn't even finish it, so this series has just been on a downward trajectory
All of this meaning that even with all these glowing reviews out there, there's not a single one of them I can trust because they all talk like 2 was the best one
I love uncharted one but every time vow says he liked it more than 2 my brain really hurts
2 was amazing the first time, but it's all spectacle, more movie than game, which is cool if that's what you want
I found 1 infinitely more replayable, I beat it on every difficulty and then beat it on every difficulty AGAIN when they added Trophies so I could get my Platinum for it
My second run through Uncharted 2, I made it...a quarter of the way through? Once you know all its tricks, the second time through just isn't that fun
Uncharted 1 really had a shine in its combat, specifically room layout and enemy formations, it was very much that "combat puzzle" mentality that people talk about with Halo
Uncharted 2's combat sections felt really lacking comparatively, but I mean, why wouldn't they? They clearly were worrying more about collapsing buildings and fighting helicopters on the top of moving trains and a bunch of other mindless spectacle

I have finished Uncharted 2 more times than any other triple A game I've ever played, including twice on Crushing. Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

this Drake looks like he'd be mean to me at the gym
Nate. Nate Nate Nate... Dude, you gotta stop skipping leg day.

And it's OK, I guess.
It's a phone game so it's got IAPs coming out of it's arse.
But it's a decent little puzzle thing.
And 3 was already really good
"...and Nathan not-so-begrudgingly agrees to untuck half of his shirt once again for another globetrotting adventure."
You're alright, Dan.
yeah this is nuts to me
cmon guys chloe better be in the actual game
cmon
what?
cmon
I was gonna skip it but I'll probably pick it up when it's pretty cheap now
This bar brawl looks great cinematically but it hasn't aged well, gameplay-wise
If you're gonna come at the king that is Batman combat, you best not miss
Nathan Drake isn't Batman and he shouldn't be
It's a shame about that whole ship jumping shit.
The indoor ship stuff is cool. I loved running from the water.
2 is such a watershed moment for action games that I wouldn't imagine it would ever be topped
At the very best you'd get "well it's great, but it's no Uncharted 2 because what ever could be"

Which sounds like an a-okay way to go out, that's the best-case scenario for the Last of Us guys taking charge on Uncharted to me
Last of Us was like 20 hours, and it sounds like UC4 is about 15
Every other Uncharted is 8-10 hours
2 was amazing the first time, but it's all spectacle, more movie than game, which is cool if that's what you want

I played both of them about the same, which is to say I Platinumed both
I wonder how much of this is due to the "wide open" aspect of the world in it, rather than being as linear as the others.
I'm not sure if this was their response to Tomb Raider or not but if it is I'm glad they were pushed that way
I wonder if it has light Metroid aspects like TR as well

It's a 45 gig game, and a 5 gig patch
